There is no way to hide my excitement tonight, as one of my favorite TCU Horned Frogs earned his shot in the NBA.
Kenrich Williams, he of the indomitable spirit and incomparable haircut, has signed with the New Orleans Pelicans.
It’s impossible not to be happy for the man nicknamed Kenny Hustle, a player who overcame first a lack of offers, then injury, and finally going undrafted to fight his way into professional basketball. Williams was quickly snapped up by the Denver Nuggets after failing to hear his named called during the two-round NBA Draft, and spent his Summer League audition doing what he did at TCU - grabbing rebounds, playing defense, making hustle plays, and showing off his high basketball IQ.
